Getting More Out of ASAE’s AMS Demo Days

ASAE’s AMS Demo Days are coming up. If a new AMS is somewhere on your organization’s horizon, this webinar is for you. We’ll walk you through how to evaluate what you see at ASAE’s AMS Demo Days, separate must-haves from features that just look good in a demo, and leave with a clear sense of what’s actually right for your organization.

October 14, 2026 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET

What you’ll learn

Walk into ASAE’s AMS Demo Days with a clear evaluation plan — and leave knowing exactly what to do next.

Demos are designed to impress. Without a clear framework for what you’re looking for, it’s easy to leave with a lot of information and not much direction. This session gives you the tools to evaluate what you see with confidence.

A practical framework for evaluating AMS platforms beyond features and first impressions
How to tell the difference between a system that looks good and one that actually fits
A structured approach to separating must-haves from nice-to-haves before you walk in
Which systems are worth a second conversation — and which ones aren’t right for your organization
Getting caught up in impressive demos without a clear sense of what you’re actually evaluating
A clear action plan for what to do after Demo Days to keep momentum going

Why this matters

AMS Demo Days put a lot of options in front of you in a short amount of time. Every platform has a polished demo, a compelling story, and a sales team that knows exactly what to highlight. Without a clear framework for what you’re actually looking for, it’s easy to walk away impressed by everything and certain about nothing.

The organizations that make good AMS decisions don’t just attend demos — they show up prepared. They know what their current system is costing them, what they can’t live without, and what questions to ask that vendors don’t always volunteer answers to.

Preparation is what turns Demo Days from overwhelming to useful.
